"The code from “Taroko Gorge” and the form it defines have been appropriated a few times. Here are five poetry generators that use the code from that project and replace my text with different, and often much more extensive, language..."
Part three of a mini-series on using grammars as generators: Part I was about Context-Free Grammars and natural language parsing. Part II was about Lindenmeyer systems, Context Free design grammars, and Structure Synth. This third part is about generative poetry and Tree-Adjoining Grammars. Part IV will be about Style Grammars and Shape Grammars.

This scholarly blog was launched on December 19, 2011 as a constraint to read and critically reflect upon a work of e-poetry every day, leading me to revisit known works, discover new ones, and expand my knowledge of this emergent poetic genre. Its initial performance was a continuous run of 500 daily entries, completed on May 2, 2013.
It is also designed as quick reference for those unfamiliar with e-poetry, with concise entries that provide poetic, technological, and theoretical contexts, close readings of the poems, and some strategies for readers to approach the work. This last aspect is an important part of my current work as an academic: to broaden the audience base for e-literature, both within and outside of academia. In order to extend its potential audiences, the blog uses a social blogging platform, Tumblr, and it broadcasts its content on two social networks: Facebook and Twitter.
I ♥ E-Poetry is developing a worldwide audience, received over 16,045 visits and more than 9,898 unique visitors since its launch, according to Google Analytics data collected on May 4, 2013. It has been adopted in courses, used in comprehensive exam lists, reviewed in scholarly websites, and is currently being integrated with the ELMCIP Knowledge Base—a multinational research project funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA). And it has been well received.
In support of its mission, it now has an advisory board.

One e-poem a day. Over 100 words per poem. Over 500 entries, to date.
A presentation of Marjorie Perloff, Unoriginal Genius, Chicago, Chicago UP, 2011.
A profile of the prolific e-lit author J. R. Carpenter focusing on the geosocial dimension of her works before introducing "Struts," a piece about her residency at an art gallery and media center.
Replete with drawngs, diagrams, videos, photographs, and text in the form of poems and superimpositions, “Entre Ville” resembles some of Jason Nelson’s mixed-media works, but whereas Nelson eschews any easy association with location and cultural specifities, Carpenter — whose videos always use natural sound, suggestive of quiet early mornings — creates a meditative atmosphere, inviting you to an engagement more with objects and animals than with the culture and the detritus of the information superhighway.
